Abstract
Amyl alcohol/water emulsion forms during dye removal from aqueous phases by solvent (amyl alcohol) extraction using reverse micelles of sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS). The phase separation time of the emulsion dictates the residence of the dye removal processes by reverse micelles. The creaming rate of amyl alcohol/water emulsion formed in the presence of SDBS has been studied and the data are analyzed by theoretical model available in literature.
